Anniversary Supper - More Ornaments

Song:  What Is Life

Artist:  George Harrison

On the day after my one year anniversary living in Colorado...

I went to Colorado Springs to eat sushi.

As you can see...

Pikes Peak had a dusting of snow from the previous night.

I ate my fill at my favorite sushi place.

I had another two orders of food...

but I got so into eating that I forgot to take more photos.

On the way back from Colorado Springs.

Cheyenne Mountain is straight ahead...

the location of NORAD.

Pikes Peak is shrouded in clouds in the center of this photo.

I was in Manitou Springs...

on my way home.

I was in Woodland Park en-route home.

Pikes Peak is partially covered in clouds.

I had stopped off at my mailbox...

and I was just a few minutes from home as I headed up the mountain.

I was almost home here.

I had received the following five Christmas Tree Ornaments as a gift.

Colorful Dragonfly

Beautiful Butterfly

Snow Bear

This dog looks like Bandi.

Northern Lights

I greatly appreciated these gifts.

I will be hanging them up once I receive all of my ornaments...

and the topper.

I expect the rest late next week.

I had gone food shopping today...

and on the way back...

I stopped at my mailbox.

I had ordered some ornaments for myself...

and I received the following today.

I still am waiting for the tree skirt...

two other ornaments...

and the topper

(a snow owl in flight).

Autumn Bear

Magnificent Peacock

Tree of Life

Owl of Wisdom

------------

As you can tell...

my ornament theme is of animals.

It is so fitting to my surroundings.

 ----------

 I had awakened very early this morning...

and so...

I am going to lie down with Bandi and take a short nap.

Later tonight...

I will practice some more music up in the loft

as I overlook the Christmas Tree.

I just love that tree all lit up at night.

It adds such great ambiance...

it just mellows me out.

I cannot help but feel inspired by it.

--------

Later next month...

they will be having the Autumn Arts and Crafts Fair 

at the community center.

I will surely be going to that once again.

There is one particularly talented artist

who lives in our community.

I expect to buy at least one of her art pieces.
